Abstract

A connector is provided which has a fluid passage whose volume does not substantially vary with the opening/closing of a valve disc. The connector includes a substantially cylindrical connector main body, a valve disc made of elastic material and disposed at one of the opening ends of the connector main body, and a substantially cylindrical connecting member disposed on the outer periphery of the connector main body on the side of the valve disc and coaxially with the connector main body to be movable in an axial direction of the connector main body. <IMAGE>
